User talk:The RedBurn

Welcome to Wikidata, The RedBurn!

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!

Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:

• Introduction – An introduction to the project.
• Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
• Community portal – The portal for community members.
• User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
• Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
• Project chat – Discussions about the project.
• Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Best regards! Cycn

Merging items

Hallo The RedBurn,

For merging items, you may want to use the merge.js gadget from help page about merging. It has an option "Request deletion for extra items on RfD" to automatically place a request to delete the emptied page. This way of nominating makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests.

With regards, - - (Cycn/talk) 12:58, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello Cycn,

I've actually used it, as you can see in the edit summary. Same thing for the delete request. Is it an automatic message? The RedBurn (ϕ) 13:57, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Oh great. Sometimes I miss that.

This message is not automated, but it is scripted. You can find it on this page: User:Cycn/merge. - - (Cycn/talk) 14:00, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Pokemon

Hallo,

I checked, as I did the first time I didn't delete Q12015638. The families in this item include 2 other pokemon that have articles on certain wikis. evolutionary line of Bulbasaur (Q12015638) does replace Bulbasaur (Q847571) on the ca, fr and pt wikis, but also Ivysaur (Q1636903) and Venusaur (Q2283930), so they cannot be merged as they would then need to be merged to 3 items... - - (Cycn/talk) 15:16, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Alright, I now understand why you reverted it. Sorry I insisted. By the way, I discovered the "composed of" property, thanks! The RedBurn (ϕ) 15:47, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I saw there are quite a few "families" like this. I've done this and another one, but the others should be connected the same way some time, I think. If you have any questions or remarks, please don't hasitate to ask me on my talk page. - - (Cycn/talk) 07:51, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

LibreOffice

Bonjour,

On ne devait pas utiliser cette propriété pour les versions en développement, une proposition en ce sens a été refusé si mes souvenirs sont bons. Normalement, on devait l’utiliser uniquement pour les versions stables. Cela devait permettre aussi de retrouver l’historique, mais il a été effacé pour LibreOffice… genium ⟨✉⟩ 13:49, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Salut,

Il y a eu deux propositions pour ajouter une propriété "unstable version" (1 et 2), refusées car il suffisait d'ajouter un "qualifier". "stable version" a donc été renommé en "version" suite à cet ajout (voir Property_talk:P348#Qualifiers) pour pouvoir utiliser type of version tout en évitant les contresens.

Product model - redundance

[1] is redundant. The information that the item is a subclass of hammer drill is already stored in the subclass statement. It is therefore sufficient to state "instance of model". A subclass of model for each subclass of product is redundant anywhere. User:Ghouston brought that up on Wikidata:Project chat#Android smartphone model - a class that I had created. After he brought it up I replaced all my "instance of Android smartphone model". MrProperLawAndOrder (talk) 14:58, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

I was actually wondering about that, MrProperLawAndOrder, thanks! Now, should hammer drill model (Q23811264) and rotary hammer model (Q92733828) be removed? The RedBurn (ϕ) 16:05, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

You mean delete from Wikidata? I think yes. Maybe you can also comment at Wikidata:Project chat#Android smartphone model. One other person just wrote that he created video game console model and also found it confusing. No we are at least three editors that created at least one X model, but each of us thinks it is redundant. MrProperLawAndOrder (talk) 21:16, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Commons redundancy

Another redundancy (stating same thing twice), under discussion at Wikidata:Properties for deletion#P373. MrProperLawAndOrder (talk) 20:02, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
